Hooray for Melanie’s questions making a return for her Share the World blog post. I love these random questions as a way of learning more about others and sharing a little more about myself. Melanie has posted the following questions and you can read my answers below 👇🏼.
1 – What two totally normal things become really weird if you do them back to back?
I would say brushing your teeth and then having a coffee. I’m sure the coffee would taste really minty. I always wait a good half an hour after brushing my teeth before I have coffee.
2 – What is something that you just recently realized that you are embarrassed by, that you didn’t realize embarrassed you?
I haven’t really been embarrassed by anything for a long time thankfully. I do tend to be embarrassed if people I know speak very loudly, especially on public transport and normally regarding a private matter. I guess I find it strange that people can hear you airing your dirty laundry (so to speak).
3 – If Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Germany, the USA, Brazil and Italy were represented by one food, which would it be for each?
Australia – Lemingtons
NZ – kiwi fruit (may not be the case but it makes me think of NZ 🤣).
UK – bangers and mash
Ireland – Shepherd’s Pie
Germany – Curry Wurst
USA – burgers or anything deep fried
Brazil – Brazil nuts (may also not be from Brazil)
Italy – Pasta
4 – What might happen if Goldilocks and the Three Bears were set in modern times?
I think the bears would eat Goldilocks.
5 – Where was the most most embarrassing or inappropriate place you’ve passed audible gas?
In the gym! Thankfully only one other person heard but I was mortified.
Thanks Melanie and thanks for reading everyone. Feel free to answer also in the comments section 🙂.

I was born in England, but moved to Scotland as a young child and I now live in Germany so I would like to answer the food question with that in mind.
England: I was born near Birmingham so I have to go with Cadbury’s Dairy Milk.
Scotland: Haggis with turnip and mash. Or deep fried Mars bar (yuk).
Germany: Käsespätzle (a kind of home egg past with lots of cheese and fried onions) served with a side helping of potato salad and some pork.
To the final question: I have a gas issue, so it would be easier to answer where have I not embarrassed myself on that score!!! 😀
Cool questions and answers. I totally agree on Goldilocks and the bears.

Answer to number 4…. the book would be banned for being offensive, misogynistic and stereotypical and probably for being just a bit too anti-bear. Oh, and the bears would check out the porridge to make sure it was free of additives.

Canada has a bunch of favourite foods….a grocery chain has listed them. https://www.sobeys.com/en/articles/10-quintessentially-canadian-foods/ I like several of them and some I never had….one of the most versatile is Maple Syrup because if you’re gluten free, you can replace vanilla extract with it in equal quantities and removes any potential gluten sensitivity. You can make pies etc with it. Though I’m also fond of Poutine (sounds like poo teen) not like a certain dictator. I see they also totally missed adding sugar pie or maple syrup pie to the list. Maybe because they added Maple Syrup.
